Where did we go wrong
I thought that we were supposed to make it
Where did we go wrong
How could life give us love, then take it away

Alone again today
Remembering when

We were a brand new morning
We weren’t afraid to feel
All that we asked was somewhere to hide

We were like happy children
Reaching out to touch everything that’s real
We believed in love ’cause our lives were touching inside

And baby, remember the things we needed
The summers and the winters and springs we needed
The feeling we would fly and on wings we needed to share

Remember the people how few we needed
We always had the me and the you we needed
If every little thing that we knew we needed to care was there

Then where did we go wrong
And isn’t time supposed to heal me?
Where did we go wrong
And can a part of you still feel me
As much as yesterday
A touch a world away
We were the time of Crystal
Shining for love to see
Both of us gave the things we receive

We were like hungry people
As I gave to you so you gave to me
Believing in our love ’cause we love the things we believe

Baby, remember the dreams we needed
The nights we couldn’t sleep and these dreams we needed
So we could find the time for what it seems we needed to say

Remember the touches to show we needed
To keep our love and keep our love the glow we needed
And being here without you I know we needed to stay
That way

But where did we go wrong
I thought that we were supposed to make it
Where did we go wrong
How could life give us love, then take it away

Where did we go wrong
I thought that we were supposed to make it
Where did we go wrong
Where did we go wrong
Where did we go wrong
Where did we go wrong
